The accountant fellow in James' avatar. It's his latest alter-ego.
Ah fair play. Haven't seen that one yet.
Quote: James Cotter @ July 6 2011, 7:20 PM BSTIt's Geogre Cottier.
Is that really the spelling?
Quote: MrWriterLikeInTheSong @ July 5 2011, 10:27 PM BSTDoes anyone have examples of any British TV shows that have been successfully sued for plagiarism? Not neccessarily sitcoms, even an individual sketch or just a one-liner. May give an indication of how "clear and present a danger" this is.
Chortle regularly features plagiarism stories, usually referring to gags or stand up routines. Some recent examples:
My Name Is Earl, writer claims sitcom was stolen from his idea
Jim Tavare accuses Sid Bowfin of nicking his act, look and website
Micky Flanagan accused of doing a gag that another act had already been accused of plagiarising
Australia's Got Talent finalist nicks Lee Mack routine
Father Ted show - tribute or rip-off?

No it's George.

It's that your new sitcom title, James?

No it's George and the Dragon.

Yeah, there are loads of stories about allegations - was wondering if anyone had a case of a proven claim?
I had a show on Doctors and the almost exact same storyline came up on Holby.
Was it about someone needing a doctor for an ailment?
Actually no... lol 
Hee.
Sue them!
Lol. I don't think I'd have much of a case.
Boo. Just glare at them from afar then. I shall join in.
